The Madness of King Mouse

The Mouse King represents the face of evil in The Nutcracker, to the point of his often being pictured with several heads -- albeit not on this label, of course, for the sake of slightly more amusing/appetizing imagery! This tiny monarch would rather be eating gingerbread soldiers, and his greatest weakness, apparently, is to be hit in the noggin' with a dancing slipper. As such, this inspirationally tyrannical holiday blend tussles together the Christmas flavors of gingerbread, hazelnut, and vanilla.
